More original markings found. On the passenger door is the W/T. The exciting find was on the rear lower plate. It’s original CMD #. I think it’s CMD 26407. Lastly I found on the right rear fender what I believe to be a postwar Dutch marking. The Netherlands flag in what I think was a black circle.
It’s nice finding these numbers as hopefully as others have said this vehicle can be traced. Alex, I’ve checked the white plate underneath and it doesn’t look to have had any thing. The lower front plate might have something but it will have to wait since the nose is pretty close to the shop door. Thanks for those pictures. I have not seen those ones before. David, as for its role in RCASC usecheck out the info sheet below.

Great to see this Otter in good hands and being restored!
In post #2 it looks like the remains of a registration number CM 46??296 are visible, similar to the number on the Otter on the attached photo (from the book “XII Manitoba Dragoons a tribune” by B. Tascona, showing Otter used during training in the U.K. 1943). Marco

By the way....interesting to see that some Otters were given a census number with CM-prefix, while others were given a (C)F prefix!

Thanks Alex.
My knowledge on the Dutch markings is quite limited. Yes the difference in the WD numbers. Originally they were considered “cars” so they got the CM numbers. Later contracts they were considered “armoured cars” and got the F numbers. I think they started getting F numbers quite late in construction around October/November of 42.
